and north—east england. and a major incident has been declared in county durham. catriona renton has the latest. widespread destruction as storm malik swept its way into northern parts of the uk. the northeast of scotland was particularly affected. emergency services in aberdeen were called at 10:30 this morning to the place where this tree had fallen. but, sadly, a 60—year—old woman had died. much of scotland experienced blustery conditions, gusts of 85 mph were recorded on the aberdeenshire coast, leaving tens of thousands of homes without power and transport disrupted, with cancelled train services and road closures. even stronger winds were recorded in the northeast of england. and near bradford, lee warner and his friend, richard nutter, had been packing up their gear after a bike ride. i sat between the two backseats just

crouching down, really, yeah. it pushed me further down, and then laid on the floor, my friend pulled me out of the back of the van. an almighty crash, to be honest, i thought my friend were dead, and he's been really lucky. a second storm, storm corrie is now on its way, expected to bring further high winds, especially to scotland tomorrow. catriona renton, bbc news. in the us, a fierce winter storm bringing heavy snowfall is sweeping across the east coast with forecasters warning of "historic" blizzards, hurricane force winds, power outages and travel chaos. this is newjersey, which is among five states to have declared emergencies. more than 5,000 flights have been cancelled. and in new york's times square, tourists braved the conditions to take pictures in the snow. kathy hochul is the governor

of new york, and gave this update a short while ago. just because the snow stops, doesn't mean life gets back to normal. that is when the true clean—up is going to continue and that's when we need just a little more time to take care of the roads safely and again, we all know everyone knows to do that, so let's see if we can follow that and again, our wind chills that i mentioned, this is what is the dangerousness we're talking about. we are expecting temperatures in the single digits tonight into tomorrow morning and this is when frostbite kicks in, look at how serious that can be, so we are trying to remind everybody to take this very seriously. ashley baylor is a meteorologist for wtnh in connecticut. earlier she told me what state the blizzard is currently in. we are still dealing with this storm. we have been tracking some bands of very heavy snow for several hours, especially in eastern sections of our state

and since we are talking about that fine snow, it piles up very easily but when you factor in these heavy snow bands with winds that are blowing between 50 and 80 kilometres per hour, it causes blowing and drifting snow, so that contributes to poor visibility, poor conditions on the roads, so we have seen roads that are absolutely snow—covered. it is a tough task for our clean—up crews, our ploughs to actually keep up with this storm because this has been going on since about nine o'clock last night. so this is almost a solid 24—hour storm force. it's very difficult to keep up with mother nature in these conditions. lots more on our website. borisjohnson is to speak to the russian president vladimir putin and visit eastern europe in the coming days, in an effort to resolve tensions over ukraine. russia has gathered 100,000 troops, tanks and missiles at the border with ukraine, but denies plans to invade. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet has more from kyiv.

ukrainians have long lived with war. dozens of british soldiers here since 2015, not long after russia first invaded. but with more of moscow's troops and weapons now massed along the border, diplomacy builds, too. next week, borisjohnson�*s visit to this region takes it up a notch. here in kyiv, there is concern that too much talk of war can be risky, too, but they need their friends. it's a good signal for us, not only for us, not only for ukraine, but also to russian federations, that we have strong partners, we will not be alone with this if the invasion comes to be, so it is a good signal. moscow sends conflicting signals. more troops, more weaponry

moving in but its doors still open to find a way out. washington does the same, talking to allies in moscow, too, while readying military reinforcements and warning about any war. it would be horrific, it would be terrible and it's not necessary and we think a diplomatic outcome is the way to go here. this is what it looks like now. russia released these images of its anti—aircraft missiles arriving in neighbouring belarus for next month's military exercises. a month fraught with ever—growing risk. vasyl filipchuk is a former ukrainian diplomat who now serves as a senior advisor at the independent ukrainian think tank, the international centre for policy studies. he talked me through his assessment of the situation. the he talked me through his assessment of the situation.— of the situation. the reality is russia attacked _ of the situation. the reality is

russia attacked the _ of the situation. the reality is russia attacked the ukraine l of the situation. the reality is| russia attacked the ukraine in of the situation. the reality is - russia attacked the ukraine in 2014 and since 2014 we have always had 119,000 russian troops. 0ne and since 2014 we have always had 119,000 russian troops. one year ago our security service even counted about 200,000 troops for military exercises, so the point we all here in ukraine is why now? what happened? what is different miss what happened two months ago when suddenly some people in the west woke up and discovered that russians are next to our borders? they have always been there and what the president is saying, don't panic, there is no need for diplomats leaving kyiv. basically it is true, whilst ukrainians are sceptical of their own governments and trust more their own governments and trust more the uk or us government. i think the

ukrainian government is telling the truth, there is nothing dramatically different. russia is unable to make a fully fledged invasion today and evenif a fully fledged invasion today and even if a decision was taken today, they would not be able next month or more. it's thought that 1.3 million people in the uk are living with long covid and hundreds of thousands of them experience breathlessness. traditional lung scans often appear to be normal though, but researchers in oxford are using a different technique in a clinical trial, which does show problems in these patients' lungs. they hope that understanding the problem will lead to better treatment options. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns has the story. flo van diemen van thor was never one forjust sitting down inside. but she says long covid has been a horror show. it was not just the breathlessness that was really hard, it was muscle weakness, legs like jelly and just thinking

if i try to go down the stairs, they might not carry me. but this is the ct scan of flo's lungs and, like so many long covid patients, everything looks normal and healthy. these are my lungs, i've had them all my life. i know there's something wrong with them. flo is taking part in a study in oxford. breathe in and out. researchers think they're the first in the world to be able to show abnormalities in the lungs of long covid patients. flo and the other volunteers have an mri scan as they suck in xenon gas. it behaves like oxygen and should cross from their lungs into their bloodstream. the numbers are small so far. 36 patients, 11 who didn't need hospital care when they were first infected but went on to get long covid. it's a very exciting and very encouraging first step. so what we have here is one of the patients from our trial and the ct scan is entirely normal.

they have then gone on and had a xenon gas mri. this is the xenon getting through normally into their bloodstream from their lungs and the blacker areas are where the xenon gas or oxygen would struggle to get through. it's early days for this study and there are still lots of questions, including exactly what is causing these abnormal lung scans. in the meantime, there aren't many of these specially adapted mri scanners across the country. if this research proves they are worthwhile, it would take some serious investment and several months to scale them up across the nhs. and breathe out... lovely, really good. flo says this was the turning point for her, learning breathing techniques with a respiratory physiotherapist. ijust want you to try and slow... it might take her longer to recover after exercise now, but she's moved up a level in karate. she's not back to normal yet, but thinks she will get there. catherine burns, bbc news.

joining me now isjeannie mcginnis. she's been living with long covid since contracting coronavirus back in march 2020. and also i'm joined by professorjim wild, who led the team which developed this new scanning technique. both of you, very good to join us. you developed covid in march 2020. how has the past nearly two years been for you? explain to us how you are feeling. it been for you? explain to us how you are feeling-— are feeling. it started off mild to moderate- _ are feeling. it started off mild to moderate- i _ are feeling. it started off mild to moderate. i was _ are feeling. it started off mild to moderate. i was not _ are feeling. it started off mild to| moderate. i was not hospitalised are feeling. it started off mild to - moderate. i was not hospitalised but for the first three, four months i had laryngitis, i was coughing up mucus and debris. at 1.1 did get a mild taste of a chest infection but it continued and after four months,

it continued and after four months, it actually impacted my heart and i had a lot of heart irregularities and that is what flagged up the big caution with my gp and i got referred to a pulmonary specialist, we did a lot of cardiac tests, dct, x—rays, the pulmonary stress test and in the end, even after each therapy because i lost my voice, all therapy because i lost my voice, all the tests came back normal. i was diagnosed last year with dysfunctional breathing and of course i am doing all the breathing exercises, but the thing is i am still having the long issues, post exertional malaise and i am doing all the right things. i am in a long covid rehab clinic now and it has been two years. it is covid rehab clinic now and it has been two yew-— covid rehab clinic now and it has been two veere— been two years. it is quite an experience — been two years. it is quite an experience that _ been two years. it is quite an experience that so _ been two years. it is quite an experience that so many - been two years. it is quite an i experience that so many people been two years. it is quite an - experience that so many people are also having. professor, i know it is early days with this new testing technique but what is it that this is picking up, the different test

happening. just give us a snapshot because of course we know it is an incident, an emergency incident is being described in your area. thank ou ve being described in your area. thank you very much- _ being described in your area. thank you very much. good _ being described in your area. thank you very much. good evening. - being described in your area. thank you very much. good evening. in i you very much. good evening. in county durham we had some really strong winds, terrible weather overnight and through the first part of today. what that has left us with was a huge number of trees that had fallen and blocked roads. we had about 180, 190 call—outs for trees. we had a very busy day for highway services. as the date has gone on we found out we have widespread outages across the county and we are working with the power provider in our area to get people connected. as we sit here, we still have a number of issues ongoing. we think we have around about 8000 properties still without power across county durham and we have at least two roads fully

closed and many others with quite a lot of disruption around them. so we have been working as a multi—agency group and because of the uncertainties we have, particularly around reconnecting properties in the county, we decided we needed to declare a major incident which means that we can deploy all of our collective resources across blue light services and the council to support households through the incident and to get people on the ground as quickly as we can. the area, ground as quickly as we can. the area. this _ ground as quickly as we can. the area. this is _ ground as quickly as we can. the area, this is the _ ground as quickly as we can. the area, this is the second time in as many months that the area has been hit by powerful storms. had it recovered from storm arwen two months ago? had it recovered to an extent after that? you months ago? had it recovered to an extent after that?— extent after that? you are right. it is only two — extent after that? you are right. it is only two months _ extent after that? you are right. it is only two months and _ extent after that? you are right. it is only two months and it - extent after that? you are right. it is only two months and it feels i extent after that? you are right. it| is only two months and it feels like a much shorter amount of time for

those of us here in county durham. we were a course ready for this one as we were with storm arwen. we had good warnings from the met office and in terms of recovery, we were still, there was still a number of actions ongoing across the county, notjust in terms of power outages but in terms of landscape and fallen trees. we still really hadn't caught up trees. we still really hadn't caught up with that work before this storm came. again, we were ready and we deployed resources very needed to very quickly today across blue light services and across our old services from the county council. if nothing else, we learned an awful lot of lessons from storm arwen that we put in place today and we will do tomorrow potentially into the week coming. tomorrow potentially into the week cominr. ., ., ., . ., tomorrow potentially into the week cominr. ., ., ., ., coming. now that you have declared a ma'or coming. now that you have declared a major incident. _ coming. now that you have declared a major incident, you _ coming. now that you have declared a major incident, you touched _ coming. now that you have declared a major incident, you touched upon i major incident, you touched upon some of the additional support that the council will get. does that come

from the government itself? the current from the government itself? tie: current position is about managing this locally. 0f current position is about managing this locally. of course the main issue we have is the power outages. northern powergrid are the main resource to help us do that. northern powergrid do have arrangements with other power companies across the country where they have reciprocal arrangements to get resources into the areas where it needs it most, so we are getting resources in the area and of course across county council services, blue light services, this is work that we do day in, day out so we do have our on—call staff working as normal. we are not at the position yet where we have had to request for additional resources from central government as we had to with storm arwen. this is just day one, storm arwen lasted for more than a week, ten days for some people so we are not in the same

position now as we were then thankfully. the numbers that we are dealing with are much smaller this time but of course for anyone affected by it, it is a significant disruption to their lives.- affected by it, it is a significant disruption to their lives. thank you very much- — disruption to their lives. thank you very much- we _ disruption to their lives. thank you very much. we wish _ disruption to their lives. thank you very much. we wish you _ disruption to their lives. thank you very much. we wish you a - disruption to their lives. thank you very much. we wish you a team i disruption to their lives. thank you very much. we wish you a team is| disruption to their lives. thank you i very much. we wish you a team is the very much. we wish you a team is the very best of luck with their recovery operations. the singer—songwriter joni mitchell has said she will remove her music from the streaming service spotify, in a row about coronavirus misinformation on a podcast. in a statement on her website, she said she stood in solidarity with neil young — who withdrew his music this week — and warned that lies were costing people their lives. joe rogan, whose podcast appears exclusively on spotify, has been criticised for interviewing an infectious disease specialist who is critical of covid vaccines. i'm joined now by music professor catherine moore from the university of toronto.

professor, just talk us through the balance of the decision making. spotify have crunched the numbers and they are deciding to go with the podcaster given just how many millions of downloads there are of this particular pod cast. how does that compare to how many people, how popularjoni mitchell and neil young's music is? i popularjoni mitchell and neil young's music is?— popularjoni mitchell and neil young's music is? i think that the dilemma for— young's music is? i think that the dilemma for spotify _ young's music is? i think that the dilemma for spotify is _ young's music is? i think that the dilemma for spotify is they i young's music is? i think that the dilemma for spotify is they are i dilemma for spotify is they are trying to get in a different business, they are trying to get into the podcaster business and they have spent a lot of money to do that. so they are trying to balance what their investors want in terms of broadcasting revenue and a lot of thatis of broadcasting revenue and a lot of that is increasingly advertising revenue and that is very important to them. they have thejoe rogan

experience as a podcaster exclusively whereas people can get music many, many other places. so if spotify is looking at the cold hard facts about how many users and will they stay or will they go, that can be one thing they are basing this decision on. be one thing they are basing this decision on— be one thing they are basing this decision on. :: :: ., ., , be one thing they are basing this decision on. i: i: ., ., , ., decision on. 200 million downloads a month, i decision on. 200 million downloads a month. i have _ decision on. 200 million downloads a month, i have got _ decision on. 200 million downloads a month, i have got the _ decision on. 200 million downloads a month, i have got the figures - decision on. 200 million downloads a month, i have got the figures now. . month, i have got the figures now. just put this into context, how popular is he compared to these musicians? it popular is he compared to these musicians?— popular is he compared to these musicians? , ., ., , ., ., musicians? it is regarded as one of the biggest — musicians? it is regarded as one of the biggest podcaster— musicians? it is regarded as one of the biggest podcaster anywhere i musicians? it is regarded as one of| the biggest podcaster anywhere and it is hard, the measuring sticks are not the same. talk about downloads for podcaster but not downloads for music because it is streaming for music. it is different measurements but certainly, the audience is very, very big. for neil young it is something over, because it is monthly listeners and average

automation because you can't employ a lot of people to check everything all the time. so along with other media companies, they are trying, they are playing catch up, they are trying to scramble to get what is regarded as bad content off and of course that is subjective, but bad content, inaccurate content off their platform. but content, inaccurate content off their platform.— content, inaccurate content off their platform. but if they are as ou sa , their platform. but if they are as you say. they — their platform. but if they are as you say, they have _ their platform. but if they are as you say, they have made - their platform. but if they are as you say, they have made this i you say, they have made this podcaster exclusively, they are moving direction, they are notjust a streaming platform, in that case, are they guided by the same responsibilities that other broadcasters are?- responsibilities that other broadcasters are? that is an interesting _ broadcasters are? that is an interesting point _ broadcasters are? that is an interesting point because i broadcasters are? that is an l interesting point because they broadcasters are? that is an - interesting point because they don't have, the editorial standards, such as forjournalism, when you are

storm malik easing down tonight, a
